Dinakaran launches new party Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagham

Madurai: T.T.V. Dinakaran, the independent legislator and sidelined AIADMK leader on Thursday successfully launched his new party and named it as Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagham (AMMK) in Madurai.

The flag was later unfurled.

"From today onwards we will function with a name and work to recover the 'two leaves' symbol of the AIADMK," Dinakaran said.

Dinakaran confirmed that he will contest the elections with the 'pressure cooker symbol' till the time the party recovers the 'two leaves' symbol.

On March 9, the Delhi High Court permitted Dinakaran to use a common poll symbol -- preferably 'pressure cooker' for local body elections and a party name as well so that he could carry out his political agenda.

Dinakaran's plea to the court to allow him to use pressure cooker" symbol for local bodies elections was made at a time when the writ petitions regarding the AIADMK's 'two leaves' symbol was pending.

The local bodies elections is likely to be held in April in Tamil Nadu.
